  028: Diving the Depths of the Soul: A Christian Psychiatrist's Story

  Apr 19, 202633 minS1

  In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Uejin Kim, whose personal journey has deeply shaped the way she shows up with her patients. She shares her path from being the perfectionistic eldest daughter to rebelling against God, and ultimately returning to a spiritual relationship that is more grounded, honest, and lived-in. Along the way, we explore how her own experiences—along with the help of therapy—led her into the depths of her own soul, where she encountered both her pain and a renewed sense of meaning through God. We also talk about what it means to practice psychiatry from a place of faithful presence. She reflects on her compassion for those experiencing severe mental illness, her willingness to sit with the full spectrum of human emotion, and her belief that mental health professionals already carry what they need to help others—not by fixing, but by becoming steady companions in the depths. This conversation acknowledges the quiet, sacred work of accompanying others through suffering, and the courage it takes to go there first ourselves.

  027: Lost in Translation: When Suicidal Language is Cultural

  Feb 17, 202628 minS1

  <p>In this episode, I sit down with a Korean American psychologist who reflects on vulnerable early-career moments when cultural differences shaped how she understood clients’ expressions of suicidal ideation. In her culture of origin, language about death and wanting to die was often woven into everyday speech — a nuance that initially influenced how she assessed risk in the therapy room. Together, we explore how culture shapes meaning, why suicidal language does not translate evenly across contexts, and how cross-cultural humility — not perfection — is essential to ethical and attuned clinical care.</p><p><br></p><p>Content Note: This episode includes...

  026: A Chicago Art Therapist on Creative Healing and Cultural Navigation

  Jan 28, 202631 minS1

  <p>In this episode, I sit down with a Chicago-based art therapist Elizabeth Yoo-lae Cho to explore why creative expression can unlock what words sometimes can't. She explains how she uses clients' artwork to track therapeutic progress over time in ways traditional talk therapy can't capture. We also dive into her experience as a Korean American woman whose training environment was white-dominated—navigating boundary challenges with middle-aged white men while learning to find her voice. Now working primarily with Asian American clients, she shares how she's learned to bring her full, authentic self into the room. This conversation offers both pr...

  025: Feeling Ineffective Without Calling Yourself a Failure

  Jan 14, 202641 minS1

  <p>In this episode, I sit down with my friend Eunhyey Lok to explore the familiar experience of feeling we're not being effective for our struggling client. It's so easy to attach our self worth to our effectiveness, isn't it? This is where the concept and reality of limits comes in full force. They may talk about it in grad school, but actually confronting it is something else. We hope you enjoy the episode and feel seen.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Eunhyey Lok's website:</p><p>https://www.eunhyeylok.com</p><p><br /></p><p><br /><...
